E85 gas cap?
This is something out of left field, but it came up In a discussion the other day. The guys running E85 (or just flex) have you found a yellow gas cap (or painted yours) for places like NJ that won’t let you pump your own fuel?

I never looked into too much. I thought it would fit but you might be right about that. Don’t see why it wouldn’t.
I compared the specs on rockauto and they’re definitely different.

You can get a regular gas cap in yellow:
https://www.ebay.com/p/74887308 That has the threads. The FLEX fuel caps are different, some of them: https://www.amazon.com/Stant-10841Y-.../dp/B001O19IS4 |

So if you don’t have the yellow cap but I tell the attendant to put ethanol in it, they will refuse? Yeah I would suppose I would have mine painted.

What's the logic behind you not being able to pump your own fuel? I had no idea this was a thing....

New Jersey is full service gas stations only. No self service is allowed. Oregon was the same way prior to covid.

This came up in a discussion the other day as I’m thinking about going flex down the road and if we happen to go into NJ. Thanks everyone for the replies. |

NJ is weird, they don't want to take those jobs away from people I guess. Have a friend who lives in NJ and him and I had this exact conversation like a month ago and it blew my mind that it was a thing. I don't trust family members putting fluids into my car yet alone a stranger pumping gas!
